I cant decide if our O line looked good or not..

Maybe someone that knows more about the Xs and Os than I do can shed some light, while yes it was amazing Cam stayed clean and didnt get sacked, I did however notice the pocket seemed to collapse really fast and Cam seemed to have a very cramped pocket to work with because it sure seemed like he was surronded by Bills players just seconds after the snap. 

He just didnt seem to have those nice, spacious pockets guys like Rodgers and Manning have where they have a lot of real estate to step up in the pocket or side by side if needed. Now grant it the Pack and Broncos especially have top end O lines, but im just using that as an example.

both tackles kept the ends pushed around the outside of the pocket. cam also stepped up in the pocket instead of instinctively stepping back or out to try to escape, which has been the biggest blight on his play, aside from footwork.

the offensive line we saw last night can get us to the NFCCG.

that makes me feel good, especially seeing as how the Bills are an elite D

Yeah, that throw to gGinn was beautiful cuz he was able to step up into the pocket on it

I DVR'd the game and rewatched it just to look at our line and the there's times the bills sent a full a house like the Olson play and our line was unfazed. Cam is also doing so much better at staying cool under the blitz and finding the open man. The run blocking left a lot to be desired but that usually always improves as the season progresses and with Norwell and Turner freeing up the middle I'm not too worried

Buffalo was arguably one of the top/best DLs and front 7s in the NFL.   Even if your OL is elite they would test your guys pretty well.

I think the OL looked good.  Yeah, they shutdown the run but we were able to hold our own in pass protection.   A DL that good should be able to bottle up a Fozzy Whitaker

I don't know how much this matters, but there is a supreme lack of game-planning in the preseason. It may have had something to do with our inability to run and possibly their inability to get through the line. Need a couple Reg. season games to really make an honest all around response. Looked good tho, from what I heard.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
